Chapter 139: She's A Witch

Cameron stepped across the threshold and looked around. This apartment clearly belonged to a hardcore gamer. The furniture in the living room consisted of simple pieces that were almost all black but there were framed posters everywhere.

Vintage ones depicting games from the 80s and abstract art of famous video game characters were equally spaced on the walls. In the corner of the living room about a foot away from the entertainment center was an actual arcade machine that featured both Ms. Pacman and Galaga.

He wandered over to check it out and saw that it didn't require quarters so he decided to play until Aiden was done. He forgot how hard this game was; he died without even completing the first level. Stupid Blinky!

When he did, the high scores flashed across the screen. All belonged to NMLE, a shortened version of Aiden's hacker handle, and the lowest one was 134,450. He couldn't even imagine how many hours this high score list had taken to accomplish.
